We exchanged a significant amount to USD 2 week's ago at 99.78 for our US trip next year hope we didn't jump in too early ....

Also it's stupid once you exchange it you can't keep it in the bank ....

Don't worry mate...I'll send my dispatch agent to pick it up and send it via ebay to a US bank so you can get the interest...

amex does a travellers card that you can charge up with USD so great for travelling

hmmm depending on your bank, you can also just have a foreign currency account......

Just spent 4.5k US on an upcoming trip to Kenya 2 weeks ago. It was not a lot of fun trying to guess when the best time was to pay (and for that matter, when the money was going to be taken out) as with that level of spending, 0.1 cent was about $4.50 . i think we got out of it not too badly with me getting the receipt while it was hanging about at 99.98c.

I was having a browse through ebay this morning when i spun out! when i seen that the aussie dollar was higher than the USD
